And the Americans...is there ANYTHING they are good at? Frankly no, because the only thing the Americans care about is profit. It's funny how GM and Lehman Brothers symbolized America once, and now are as good as trash.

Will time to get everyone out of LALA land. 2015 Impala, 2015 Dart, 2015, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Audi A7, Nissan Altima, Nissan Sentra, Infinti G, Passat, hint greenhouses. but only the Sonata and 2015 Genesis greenhouses would be the copycat since those two are Korean.

My Korean friends admit all their companies do is copy and sell for less because it works.They won't drive Korean cars because they have too much dignity, they readily admit their exports are meant for white people.

The only people who don't admit it are cheapskates who bought one or those being paid by the Koreans.

Admit to it? Neither do you admit everyone else is copying. I don't give a rats ass if Koreans don't buy their own shit. My statmetn is is how are you going to bring up Kia using AUDI tailights ignoring the Cherokee, and Traverse also using Audi tailights? I don't give a rats ass what you think about Kia.

As for the Sorento. Love how Lexus shows off the current RX and the year after the Koreans have an identical car. You had to wait a couple of years to get the Audi taillights though.

The Jeep Cherokee has 1 thing copied, the rest of the car is a Jeep. The Sorrento is a Lexus RX with Audi taillights and Walmart LEDs that don't even have a decent pattern. Nothing Korean was put into that car.

Lincoln MKX with Audi tailights. Are you serious? Have you ever seen a 2007 MY Lincoln Navigator? Audi's current taillights didn't start use until A4 2008 MY and in my opninion they don't even look the same.

@jtz,Also, yes, everyone copies or inspires each other and they maybe put 1 thing from another company but the majority of the car is from their own shop.

Everything on a Korean car is from every other manfucturer.

BMW has its own style.MB has its own style.Ford/Lincoln has its own style.Cadillac has its own style.Nissan/Infiniti have their own style, parts borrowed from parent Renault.Toyota/Lexus have their own designs.Honda has to ugly up their designs to ge the Koreans to stop copying.

None of the Hyundai Sonata's look anything alike, each generation went from Camry, Mazda, MB, Honda then Mazda/Lexus and now Ford.

The only truly Korean designs show, they're all ugly (Optima was ugly until it looked like an Audi). Ronda ugly until it copied VW. etc etc.

People can buy Hyundai/KIA all they want, just don't pretend its about quality or style when really its just about paying the least to settle on something that looks like what you really wanted (which is a car from another company). Kind of like settling for Samsung when what you really wanted was an iPhone.

Yes Hughejazz the Optima was ugly until it copied Audi. Just like Ford's D segment cars were butt ugly until it copied Ashton Martain. Speaking of copying to get better looking, Buicks were boring as hell to look at until Regal copied the Volvoo S60's greenhouse and ripped off the Acura TL's backend.

Lincoln MKC (new, never seen it). That's stretching it, literally. Where Lincoln stretched and thinned it so it looks like it belongs on a sports car. If anything, I'd say it reminds me more of the Dodge Challenger's taillights.

The Kia Sorento's taillights look like they literally fell off an Audi and the Korean "designers" taped it onto their car.

The backend right? Like the Acura TL's backend on the Regals. The XB's backend on the Pilots. The 2007 Camry's tail lights on the Mercdes C class. The LaCross's backend off BMW. But only the Forte is the problem because it's Korean allowing everyone else to get away with it.

BMW has its own style.MB has its own style.Ford/Lincoln has its own style.Cadillac has its own style.Nissan/Infiniti have their own style, parts borrowed from parent Renault.Toyota/Lexus have their own designs.Honda has to ugly up their designs to ge the Koreans to stop copying."

Lets have some fun!!!

Ford/Linoln

First face copied Ashton. The Fusion's greenhouse is off Avalon, Altima, Sonata, 2004 Legacy, Audi A6, Audi A7, 2015 Genesis, Infinti M (will that goes for Infinti being orginal), Impala, Passat. Ford You think the Escape is orginal? The side profile of the Escape ripped off the outlander and Rav-4. The 2010 Ford Taurus' front end ripped off the 2000 Altima's. The greenhouse has slanted C pillars also found on the 2005 Camry, Pontiac G6, 2006 Sonata, 2005 Lexus IS.

You say Infinti is orignal Hughjazz? 2015 Infinti Q80 and 2007 Lexus LX hint greenhouses. Rember you tried to get the 2009 Kia Borrego as copying the LX but won't bring up the NEW Q80 huh? Plus the Infitni used Land Rover's A pillars with Audi's tail lights. LMAO!!!

2005 Kia Mesa, Saab 9-4X and 2015 Land Rover Discovery concept hint greenhouses. But only the Mesa would be the copycat since it's Korean and acting like their wasn't no such thing as 50 other SUVs with Slanted C pillars.

When the Americans copy each other, who cares. When the Japs copy each other, who cares. When the Germans copy each other, who cares. If they borrow 1 design element off of each other, nobody cares because their cars all have their own distinct styling.

The Koreans copy off of everyone, that's why their cars never look alike, even between generations of the same model.

btw, When Toyota decided to give the Prius vertical rectangular foglights, KIA gives their cars the same foglights the year after.Porsche uses square quad headlamps, KIA puts them on their car hoping somoene will mistaken their cars for a Porsche.
